Math Workshop

Our Math Workshop is supported by our envisions program that includes a mini lesson, workstations and a closure to reinforce the lesson. We have been working on student discourse in our classroom to promote a productive learning environment through Talk Frame lessons.

Studens find their work stations based on the day. This group is working at the "Game" station that concentrates on place value through a fun bingo game! Students are engaged and participating during this time.
